Gas CHP (a Low Carbon Solution)
This course is intended to introduce the
concepts
and benefits of gas fired CHP systems, enabling delegates to decide if
CHP will be an appropriate solution for their application. Areas
covered will include:
- CHP types for both domestic and commercial applications,
- Environmental and cost benefits,
- Key performance parameters
- System sizing
- Regulatory and support frameworks
- Maintenance requirements
- Inter connection and distribution systems
Delegates are not expected to have an in-depth
knowledge about gas fired CHP, although delegates may have some prior
learning on the subject.
Property Developers, Housing Associations,
Consultants, Housing Stock Managers, Planners, Specifiers, Building
Services Engineers and those who need, or want, to have a good
understanding of gas fired CHP will find this course very relevant
& interesting. Delegates are asked to note that this course will
provide an overview of gas fired CHP; it does not offer to be a
complete design guide.
Technical terms and system operation will
be explained and anyone with a reasonable level of learning will follow
the explanations. For those with a higher level of engineering
knowledge the tutor can, and is prepared to, expand the explanation as
the audience mix warrants it.
This seminar will explain the components
that make up each system and what provisions would be required but will
not cover specific installation methods in detail.
Some illustrated Case Studies will be
discussed.
What you will Learn
By the end of this
Course you should know what the capabilities, limitations and
requirements are of gas fired CHP, be confident to discuss knowledgeably
any relevant issues with a manufacturer or installer and be aware of
the reasons why you would wish to proceed.
More specifically, we aim for delegates to
leave feeling confident in the following topics:
- The role of CHP in the energy strategy of a development
- Understand the key parameters that will dictate success or failure of a project
- Be aware of the different technology approaches and how they might be utilised
- Understand the implications of installing and operating district heat schemes
The Trainer
This training day will be lead by Rob Gwillim who has been working in the Energy Industry for the past twenty one years. During his career as an engineer and consultant at the Centre for Alternative Technology and the National Energy Foundation, he was involved in projects covering all of the major renewable technologies as well as energy conservation projects across all sectors. He has been involved in the design of district heating and systems utilising both CHP and conventional heat sources. Utilising plant from a few to hundreds of kW.
Rob currently deliver’s NEF’s one day course on Wood Fuel Heating and CHP and is the Course Leader for the University of East London masters course in Renewable Energy and the Built Environment at the Centre for Alternative Technology and Technical Director for Perpetual Energy Ltd an energy development company specialising in offering renewable energy solutions for industry and the building sector.
